Can anyone tell me who we are playing in the friendlies and what dates are they being played

There's another forum if you look through the pages. Check it out. I know that we've got Salford, Warrington, Crusaders, Oxford, Halifax and Wigan and they're all at home except Fax is away and Oxford is on Leigh East. No idea about kick off times and dates but I know there isn't a boxing day game

The Oxford game has now been confirmed as 15/2/14 against our U20s at Leigh East. Don't know about the Fax or NWC games

All the negotiations and works behind the scenes have been pretty much finalised now and we hope to be in a position very soon to start to really market these games in a big wayand release pricing details etc.

Make no bones about it we are treating these games very seriously and so are the clubs involved. Derek and Paul wont be treating them as warm ups or friendly our season has already started and the friendlies will be competitive games.

Wigan & Salford are both coming very strong and agreements are in place to support that and they will be met head on and in Wigan's case we will be reminding them they have been beaten here last few years kids or no kids and we also took a moral victory from the CC game last season so it will be interesting to see how a strong Wigan outfit cope with our boys who are working very hard and looking mean in training.

For any doubters its Wigan's only test and hit out prior to a World Club Challenge and flying out to Aus so be sure they need to come strong for their own reasons just as much as we as fans want them to and to emprises this the marketing and PR for the game will be a joint effort between us and them and it truly will be a "Battle of the Borough"

We are Leigh they are Wigan and its game on simple as!!!

Anyone who knows Derek Beaumont from his last spell at the club knows he is not afraid to say what he thinks and he also told Salford to come as strong as they can and they will need to be to as its our intention to kick their s back up the east lancs road



Warrington will be coming with a mix of first grade and U20s which also promises to be a competitive run out too.

The intention is to back up that World Cup game at LSV with some high profile, competitive games with Super Leagues best Vs. Championships finest in front of some healthy crowds so spread the word the disappointments of the past are in the past this preseason will be like no other indeed the season ahead really is promising to deliver some great times for us leythers!!!!!

If that speech dont get your arises to the games nothing will

Well said Andy

Andy I think it would be a good idea to approach Firsway to see if they are prepared to resurrect the old charity trophy for the Wigan game and help raise proceeds for W&L Hospice.

How good would it be to take a trophy against the humbles?

Andy, Wigan are playing in the James Roby Testimonial, just five days after their visit to LSV. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=562302&tsmp=1386855517

Good stuff Andy, I just hate the all in this together line, I can't help but read it in the voice of George Osborne!

I feel the same....shades of the [i"CONDEMnation"[/i about it!! - but, unfortunately the 'Beleighve' strap-line is associated with previous regime, so I suppose they wanted something different!!

Like the Banner , not keen on the Planet of the Apes extras

Plus Saints are carp anyway they want a challenge before going over to take on the Roosters
